Even if you're not after a drink, feel free to simply enjoy the free wifi, sports TV, great music and newspapers. Food is also served throughout the day, to keep you fuelled when sightseeing.

Opening hours

Located less than 2 miles from the hotel, Craigmillar remains close to the centre of Edinburgh yet within the Green belt; retaining fantastic views down the coast of East Lothian and across to Fife. The course is largely rolling parkland, dotted with trees to increase difficulty for the wayward golfer, and leave them with some great scenery to appreciate. Craigmillar also plays host to the first Scottish Amateur 72-hole event. Scotland's leading amateurs and many players from south of the border descend on the course in April each year.

Situated to the west of Edinburgh, Kingsknowe is within easy reach of all Scotland via the Edinburgh city bypass. Originally designed by Alec Herd, the 1902 Open champion, the course was later redesigned by James Braid. The parkland golf course is laid out over and through the valleys of gently rolling hills on which Oliver Cromwell's army gathered to bombard Redhall Castle in 1650. The hills now define the picturesque cherry tree-lined fairways from which the mindful golfer must propel his ball to the well-guarded and relatively small greens.

The Bruntsfield Hotel is an ideal wedding venue in Edinburgh, for parties including 20 to 100 guests. Our elegant Cardoon suite overlooks the hotels gardens from the conservatory, providing a beautiful spot for your reception.

Just returned from a couple of days break at the Bruntsfield Hotel. We had such a wonderful time we are now thinking about when we can return next year!
Value for money is fantastic for this standard of hotel. The breakfast was excellent with a full array of everything you could think off cooked breakfasts,Continental and also Gluten free options. Something for everyone.
Our room was just perfect, nice and quiet and had everything we required. The bed was so comfortable following our Christmas shopping and we weren’t long in zonking out! The hotel is also very close to some wonderful eateries and the small individual shops nearby are lovely.
Most importantly though,the staff are a credit to the hotel as they are so accommodating and couldnt do enough for you!
Can’t wait till our next visit!
Well Done Bruntsfield Hotel! See you soon!less
